WiiWare Flood Hits Japan

The WiiWare games keep on coming over in Japan. Today, we received details and screens on new games for the service, two of which could make it over our way.

First, the one with the greatest chance of coming our way. In fact, it's already been announced. Bang Bang Kids is the Japanese name for Hudson's Water Warfare. This comical FPS gives players waterguns and has them blast away at friends on randomly generated maps. The game includes options for Wiimote+Nunchuck, Classic Controller, and Wii Zapper controls, and supports 8 player online play.

In Japan, the game arrives in June at 800 WiiPoints. See the official site for a play video.

Next a game that, based on its theme at least, could stand a chance here: Arc System Works' Shika Gari. The English version of the name is "Deer Capture." Yes, this is a deer hunting game, from the company that publishes Guilty Gear.

The game allows you to take aim at deer with either rifles or bow guns. Four player support is included, with all four players taking part in the hunt simultaneously.

Japan will get the game on May 19 at 500 WiiPoints. A must-see video trailer awaits at the official site. Finally, a game that doesn't look like it has much of a chance for an American release. Although who wouldn't buy this:

Set for release from Namco Bandai, Muscle March is a WiiWare adaptation of an arcade game of the same name. A thief has stolen your protein supplement, and you and your fellow body builders have to chase him down. The game automatically makes your characters run through the city in hot pursuit of the protein bandit, who's so strong that he runs through walls. Your job is to use the Wiimote and nunchuck in order to make your character pose to fit through the holes left by the thief.

This is all probably best understood by viewing the trailer at the official site.

Japanese Wii owners can look forward to Muscle March on May 26 at 800 WiiPoints.
